How do I include host IP in SPF record for Gmail for Domains?
I have Gmail for Domains. I have set up my SPF record as the following:
mydomain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com -all
but discovered the contact form on my site is not sending me form results. So I may be missing prospective clients requests for my services.
How do I modify the SPF record to include my host IP account in the SPF record?

How do I modify the SPF record to include my host IP account in the SPF record?

Inappropriate?Anyone from Google around? According to the top of this page, there have been three employees from Google listening and participating since 9 hours ago when I posted this message.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?the -all is a hard fail, which basically tells any email client to reject any email that doesn't come from Google. You can change that to ~all to tell email clients to be a little less harsh. The better solution is to just include you IP address in the SPF record:
v=spf1 a mx ip4:X.X.X.X include:aspmx.googlemail.com -all
It's that easy!
I’m happy to help

this solves the problem

Inappropriate?I found the solution earlier with the following SPF record:
v=spf1 a mx include:aspmx.googlemail.com -all
the "a mx" allows my web based contact form to work, without having to add the IP address -
Inappropriate?You can simpify it by removing "mx":
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com -all

Inappropriate?Oh, and also replace -all with ~all
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all
